<vasileios> massimo, which
software do you use for the extraction of MPEG-7
descriptors?

<JeffP> Hi Massimo: Yes, the
irc log is public, we can either edit the minutes later to
ensure the context of your texts are properly specified, or we
can send it to the mailing list so that we don't have to dig it
out from the minutes later.

Raphael asking Patrizia: can you give an
example of how to use the Algorithms Thesaurus?

Patrizia: Algorithms Thesaurus
used to establish provenance information
... ... to define formal processes that include the algorithms
used

<jacco> jeff asks about the
expressive power wrt swrl and owl that patrizia needs

<JeffP> jeff: what expressive
power do you need from owl and swrl

<jacco> Patrizia: not thought
very deeply about this, but we need some formal way to express
rules

there is not yet a schedule for when the work
on the algorithms ontology will be finished

<IoannisPratikakis> A
question to Massimo:: Can you give an example of the existing
relations in the Algorithms ontology ?

<Massimo> we thought of a
sort of definition on how algorithms can be combined
together

<Massimo> on the base of the
multimedia object, the problem and the possible solutions

<jacco> jeff: asks what kind
of rules you need, for example, do you need disjunction in the
head, or do you need the vocabulary of the ontology in the
rules

<Massimo> an example (thought
now): suppose we need to obtain the contours of objects in an
image and locate salient features (more specifically, how it is
possible to extract features and locate a fracture on a Xray
image)

<jacco> Patrizia: not sure,
but we assume the rules are built on top of the ontology

<jacco> jeff: what are the
rules used for?

<jacco> Patrizia: I'm not
sure yet: we've just started
